Daniel, please sign our petition calling on the Wisconsin attorney general to investigate Mike White, chairman and owner of Milwaukee based Rite-Hite, to determine if White broke the law when he emailed his employees about "personal consequences" if President Obama wins reelection. Click here to sign.

Around the country, there have been disturbing reports of employers sending vaguely, and sometimes not-so-vaguely, threatening messages to employees about how they should vote in the upcoming presidential election. Take, for example, the email that Mike White, chairman and owner of Milwaukee-based Rite-Hite, sent to his employees a few days ago:

"[Employees] should understand the personal consequences to them of having our tax rates increase dramatically if President Obama is re-elected, forcing taxpayers to fund President Obama's future deficits and social programs (including Obamacare), which require bigger government."

This email appears to violate Wisconsin statute 12.07 (3) which expressly forbids "threats intended to influence the political opinions or actions of the employees."

We need to take a stand against employers telling their workers how to vote. Please sign our petition calling on the Wisconsin attorney general to investigate whether or not Mr. White broke the law when he sent this email to employees.

Keep fighting,
Chris Bowers
Campaign Director, Daily Kos

Missouri trails nation in energy efficiency

Dear Daniel, Last week, a report by The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy ranked Missouri as 43rd in the nation for its energy efficiency efforts. Read more here. “Missouri remains a laggard when it comes to encouraging energy efficiency, according to a national report released Wednesday. The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy sixth-annual energy efficiency scorecard ranked the Show-Me State 43rd for its energy efficiency efforts… “The study evaluates a variety of state policies and programs aimed at reducing energy use in homes, businesses and the transportation sector… “The East and West coasts, areas where energy prices are higher, continued to lead the rankings. But states in the nation's mid-section are gaining ground. They include two of Missouri's neighbors, Iowa, at No. 11, and Illinois, which moved up three spots to No. 14. Steven Nadel, ACEEE's executive director, said energy efficiency is being embraced by by both Democrats and Republicans in many states and will play an increasingly important role in helping meet the country's energy needs, creating jobs and benefiting the environment.” To learn more about our efforts to keep Missourians’ energy rates fair, check out our website, and sign the petition. Don’t forget to share this message with your friends and neighbors. Thanks for your support, The FERAF Team Fair Energy Rate Action Fund
